﻿I was watching a TV show last night, a hospital show. They were talking about burns, "first degree" and "second degree" and such. I started wondering what defined each degree of burn? So this afternoon I decided to find out. I did a bunch of research and I thought that I would share the results with you. ﻿

I am really sick and tired of the ugly bi-fold doors on many of the closets in my home. The crazy things are always falling off the tracks, or getting stuck. They make me want to scream! But screaming will not get me anywhere, so instead I decided to upcycle them into small French doors. All I had to do was to figure out how!

I love to have an Irish dish on St. Patrick's Day. I just think that it is a fun way to celebrate. Many times I will make the traditional corned beef and cabbage, but the price of corned beef has really gotten out of sight, so this year, that dish is not an option.

I was going through my recipes, looking for an appropriate dish when I ran across my recipe for Irish Stew. My eyes just lit up. I have not made that recipe for ages! It will be perfect for St. Patrick's Day. I make mine with lamb, if you can get it for a decent price, if not, beef is also fine.

A large majority of the human race has lost a very important skill. Awareness. Most of us have been raised in an atmosphere of safety. We believe that we are safe in our surroundings. There are no leopards in the trees above us. There are no highwaymen, blocking the streets of our subdivisions, forcing us to stop so they can rob and kill us. We can let the cable man into our homes, trusting that he is only there to fix our cable, not to kidnap us for ransom.
